LIFT is a web magazine for the adventurer in all of us (not necessarily the gym goer) -- successful men and women who work hard and play harder. Fitness isn’t about living at the gym, it’s about living at your peak, no matter what stands in your way. It’s about obeying the alarm clock, peeling yourself out of bed, and finding that extra hour most people think they’ll never have.

LIFT items are selected either by myself or by one of my guest editors. If you have a cool tip, please share it with me! And, no, you can't pay to be featured on LIFT. That's what advertising is for, and it's clearly labeled as such. I do not want to destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of this blog.

For the most part, I take the photos ... but from time to time I use Getty Images, iStockphoto (where I am currently a stock photographer) and Bauer-Griffin.

BlogBurst.comLastly, this site is syndicated through Blogburst, so it's likely that you'll see LIFT on Fox News, Reuters, or USA Today.com.

I hope that you continue to enjoy LIFT. I look forward to publishing it.

Here's how to have great Saturday-night sex

Saturday-night-sex.pngConfucius once said, "In all things, success depends upon previous preparation." With that in mind, try this plan this weekend.

10 A.M. - Sleep in. On average, adults get fewer than seven hours of sleep on weeknights and just 7.4 hours on weekends. That's bad news for your sex life: According to research, being overtired can dampen libido, cause erection problems in men and make it harder for a woman to orgasm.

3 P.M. - Get some exercise. Hey you don't have to convince me (or most of you for that matter). But with that said, let me tell you why ... working out boosts blood flow to those oh-so-important parts -- which can mean easier arousal and orgasm. In fact, a Canadian study found that a short cardio workout increases blood flow to the vagina by 169 percent.

6 P.M. - Have wine at dinner. But keep it to one (or two) glasses! A little alcohol lowers inhibitions and may increase desire for sex ... but too much just makes you tired.

9 P.M. - Turn off the TV. Italian research found that couples who had a TV in the bedroom had half as much sex as those who didn't. Tell your partner that and see if he or she still wants to catch The Daily Show. Follow this plan and who knows, date night might just blow your mind.
